Strawberry fields need more pickers, but look at what you get paid

The most interesting aspect of this article from the Register-Pajaronian may be the telling amount of money that strawberry pickers get for their work. They have to be pretty fast and efficient in order to make it worthwhile if they are going to add to that wage with the added bonus per box. Can you see yourself bent over, working 10 hours a day out in full sun?
